SUMMARY:The Iconic Common Loon
DESCRIPTION:2023 Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Caroline Hughes\, Loon Preservation Committee \nFor many\, the haunting call of the loon is an important part of the New Hampshire lake experience. Often seen as a symbol of the northern wilderness\, loons are a beloved fixture on New Hampshire lakes\, and many lake goers enjoy watching them as they raise their young. However\, the breeding season can be a vulnerable time for loons—they face many threats\, both natural and human-caused\, while on our lakes. This presentation by Caroline Hughes of the Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) will focus on the biology and life history of loons\, the threats that loons face\, and the work that the LPC and their volunteers have performed since 1975 to help recover New Hampshire’s threatened loon population. \nCaroline Hughes has a Bachelor’s in Environmental Science from the College of the Holy Cross. After interning and working for a number of conservation organizations\, including the Squam Lakes Association and Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation\, she joined the Loon Preservation Committee where she is now the Volunteer & Outreach Biologist. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here. Note that this is now a private residence and there is no bathroom access. \nSpecial thanks to our 2023 Red Barn Series sponsors\, John S. Jordan Design PLLC\, the Hebron Conservation Commission; and to our co-host\, the Newfound Lake Region Association.

SUMMARY:Why Ice Storms Aren’t Cool: Forest Response to Catastrophic Events
DESCRIPTION:2023 Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Dr. Lindsey Rustad\, USDA Northeast Climate Hub \nIce storms are a common disturbance in north temperate and boreal forests worldwide. In the United States\, they account for roughly 60% of winter storm losses with damage to property; closures of roads\, schools and businesses; and accidents and loss of life. Current models suggest that ice storms may become more frequent and more severe as a result of climate change\, but studying their impact is difficult since the storms are so hard to predict. To better understand ice storms\, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest created controlled ice storm experiments during the winters of 2016 and 2017. The experimental ‘storms’ changed the forest canopy and soil conditions giving the scientific community\, land managers and community members greater insight on the impacts of these powerful\, frightening\, and curiously aesthetic extreme winter weather events in northern hardwood forests. \nDr. Lindsey Rustad is the Director of the USDA Northeast Climate Hub\, providing expertise on the impacts of global change on northeastern forests. She is also a Research Ecologist for the USDA Forest Service Center for Research on Ecosystem Change in Durham\, NH. Her areas of expertise include biogeochemistry\, global change impacts\, and advanced environmental sensor systems. Her current interests include implementation of cybertechnology in forests across the northeastern United States and integration of Arts and Science at long term ecological field stations. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage.

Jordan Design PLLC\, the Hebron Conservation Commission; and to our co-host\, the Newfound Lake Region Association.

SUMMARY:Summer Sky Gazing
DESCRIPTION:2023 Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeakers: Amanda Leith\, Wallis Boram\, and Christine Lightsey\, McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center \nSummer nights provide the opportunity to view the changing sky when there’s no need to huddle under a blanket. This August\, skywatchers in New Hampshire will be treated to the Perseid Shower peaking just before a new moon\, the occultation of the star Antares\, and a Blue Supermoon! How can you find those events above you and what else does the August sky hold? Amanda Leith\, Wallis Boram\, and Christine Lightsey of the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord\, NH will walk you through the summer sky\, pointing out seasonal features and prominent constellations. Weather-permitting\, viewing through telescopes will take place at Ash Cottage. \nAmanda Leith has a Bachelor’s in Astronomy from UMASS- Amherst and a Master’s in Museum Studies from Tufts University. Her childhood interest in the sky has now evolved into helping people of all ages learn about and interact with astronomy. Wallis Boram holds a Bachelor’s in Ecology & Biology from Bard College. An ASTC Dialogue & Deliberation Fellow\, Wallis works to make science accessible to all\, from high school students creating museum exhibits to recent arrivals in the United States adjusting to a new place. Christine Lightsey\, M.Ed\, worked in elementary school systems in the Northeast before joining the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center as a STEM educator. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage.

SUMMARY:Local History as Told Through the Story of Ash Cottage
DESCRIPTION:2023 Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Mae Williams\, Historic Preservationist \n“I will relate the story of Ash Cottage through my own journey of discovery\, and place the farmhouse in the larger context of the history of Hebron and surrounding area. The talk will explore my own experiences researching the history of the property (and the families that lived within its walls)\, and deciphering the clues within the structure and what they can tell us about the physical evolution of the farmhouse from a very simple and quite early two-room farmhouse\, to a turn of the 20th century summer home\, and to the current rehabilitation project by NH Audubon.” \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage.

SUMMARY:Digging into Native New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:2023 Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Dr. Robert Goodby\, Professor of Anthropology\, Franklin Pierce University \nAbenaki history has been reduced to near-invisibility as a result of conquest\, a conquering culture that placed little value on the Indian experience\, and a strategy of self-preservation that required many Abenaki to go “underground\,” concealing their true identities for generations to avoid discrimination and persecution. Robert Goodby reveals archaeological evidence that shows their deep presence here\, inches below the earth’s surface. \nThis event is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here. Note that this is now a private residence and there is no bathroom access. \nSpecial thanks to our 2023 Red Barn Series sponsors\, John S. Jordan Design PLLC\, the Hebron Conservation Commission; and to our co-host\, the Newfound Lake Region Association.
